Another Blow To Democracy :
Defense Attorney Lynne Stewart Given A 10 Year Prison Sentence

Seventy-year old attorney Lynne Stewart, was resentenced to ten years
in prison by Manhattan District Court Judge John Koeltl, after an appeals
court ruled that her original twenty-eight month prison term was too light.
As the 120 month sentence was pronounced attorney Stewartâs
supporters, who packed the large overflow courtroom gasped in disbelief
and dismay, sobs were audible. Attorney Stewart, visibly shaken rose
slowly âIâm somewhat stunned, Judge, by the swift change in my outlook,â
she said. âWe will continue to struggle on to take all available options to
do what we need to do to change this.â She added: âI feel like I let a lot
of my good people down,â to which her numerous supporters responded
by calling out their belief in her and pledged ongoing support. The
sentence was the latest grim chapter where the government has used
attorney Stewart to send a chilling message to the legal community to be
wary of representation of defendants whom it distains the views of.
Weâll bring you excerpts of the reactions to the resentencing with
Stewartâs attorney, family and supporters â who vow to intensify their
efforts to Free Lynne Stewart.
